I got through all the rounds of interviews (including 2 technical panels) at CrowdStrike before being assured that I was nearing the end of the process and was expected to receive an offer soon… almost two weeks ago now? Anyone else experienced this kind of delay from CS or similarly sized organizations? Did I get ghosted? Anything more I should be doing?
Need 11 like 🙂
Thanks

Guys, no offense. If you majored in accounting you likely don’t have the “bandwidth” to be a top of your class software engineer. This is coming from an accounting major and life long public accountant. Your IQ needs to match that job.
Hmm no not really. people like the previously mentioned hire yeah, he’s probably in a special position. But i know an associate that works for google and it’s a lot of the same tech just very different project goals.
With a PhD... undergrads don’t make that much
Lol $500k at a startup is $150k salary and $350k in stocks (that’s most likely vested over a few years) that may never materialize. Do you realize how many startups fail?
The top 1% of comp sci grads can provide a legitimate business advantage to a company. Theres no discernable difference value wise from an all star account vs an average one. The same can't be said about the cohorts Google hires from.
I've often wondered why the same thing exists in law as well. The highest performers make significantly more right out if school than an experienced average attorney with 20 years of experience
That’s 1% of the computer science grads lol if you are 1% of the EY you making more than that. Just saying
Op that’s not entirely true
Industry trend. Can’t argue with that. Lawyer and doctor made less than software
I’m in the wrong profession. I regret doing audit
@D1 wow
I just cracked $200k this year. Well ahead of schedule. No re-education required.
This is like fine arts majors complaining their jobs don’t pay as much as finance/accounting. Go get that education and get in that field instead of complaining here
Where are you getting this info? I found an article about Carnegie Mellon masters grads getting $200k moving into the the autonomous car industry (which apparently is booming in Pittsburgh), but don’t see anything about new undergrads getting that money. Here is my article...can you post more info about yours? Thanks

1) Is this salary for Google employee in Mountain View or elsewhere?
2) Is this compensation package or salary?
3) Either way $200K probably isn't typical for starting salary
^ this. $200k a year but you have to live in Silicon Valley where a 1 bd 1 bath rents for $3,600 a month. You will also pay 10% state income tax to CA. I live in the Bay and know multiple engineers at Google/ Facebook/ Apple. Starting out of undergrad is more like ~$130k though i wouldn’t be that surprised if there are some making ~$200k in total comp including stock. $200k doesn’t go as far here as most places. The engineers I know still live with roommates and are a long way off from being able to buy even a starter home
That is on the high end and not typical of most entry SE. Google is very hard to get into and have little distinction in bands compared to other tech companies. You can make a ton of money in the lowest bands.
Agree on the first part of that. Google has a lot more diverse departments, practices, research groups where they will pay absolute top dollar over other companies
Dude that’s a huge aberration but I totally agree w KPMG1 that he/she is the top 1% of comp six kids that probably does bring something quite large to the table for his team. I’m making 70k first year out doing developer work. There are people that make more than me and people that make less; there always will be. I am very happy
Guys. Go check out levels.fyi site
Yeah I'm familiar with it - my wife is an SE at a large tech company. If you want to be more jealous look at Netflix salary.
Google is a hard company to get into, one of the hardest. People will try to come in as L3/L4 after many years as an SE. Some lucky people get that job as new grad, but it ain't easy.
I don't know how stock grants work at Google, but if similar to other tech companies, you earn them over time, so while they are part of comp, they act more like a savings account vs. cash.
If you regret it that much go back to school and do a CS degree. According to you 5 years down the line you would be making 500k so why not?
If you don’t have the aptitude for it or if you are not smart enough, there’s no point in comparing your salary to theirs because for you being a developer at google making 200-500k isn’t even an option at all. If you think you can do it or if it’s easy, go do it.
And it’s funny because there are jobs that pay more that you can get as an accounting/business major, like strategy consulting or IB. So stop complaining and apply for the jobs that pay more.
